Abstract: A prosthetic capsular device configured to be inserted in an eye includes a housing structure and a ring structure. The housing structure includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a third side, a fourth side opposite the third side, a posterior side including a refractive surface, an anterior side opposite the posterior side, and a longitudinal axis. The first side, the second side, the third side, the fourth side, the posterior side, and the anterior side at least partially define a cavity configured to contain an intraocular device (e.g., an IOL). The anterior side includes an opening. The ring structure includes a ring structure portion extending radially outward from proximate one of an end of the first side and an end of the second side.

Abstract: Prosthetic capsular devices (e.g., bag, bowl, housing, structure, cage, frame) for insertion into a natural capsular bag after removal of a natural lens include an anterior, a posterior end opposite the anterior end, and a capsular body between the anterior end and the posterior end. The anterior end includes an aperture configured to allow insertion of an intraocular lens therethrough. The posterior end includes a refractive surface. The capsular body defines a longitudinal axis. The capsular body is configured to hold an intraocular lens therein. The capsular body includes a straight-walled portion extending from the posterior end towards the anterior end to at least a position along the longitudinal axis and tapers radially inwardly from the straight-walled portion to the aperture of the anterior end.

Abstract: The present document describes a computing platform for simulating stability-related variables of a vessel comprising vessel elements placed in a given configuration, the computing platform comprising: a database for storing: a list of the vessel elements and information about the vessel elements; a simulation module for computing values of the stability-related variables using the vessel elements placed in the given configuration and the information about the vessel elements; and a graphical user interface for: receiving user instructions about a selection of the vessel elements among the list of the vessel elements and about the configuration of the vessel elements on the vessel; outputting the values of the stability-related variables; and displaying a representation of the vessel indicative of the values of the stability-related variables.

Abstract: A line scan imager is used to determine the motion of a subject. Each line of image data from the line scan imager is compared with a reference image. The location of a matching line in the reference image reveals the displacement of the subject. The current subject displacement can be determined based on each line of image data. The resulting displacement information can be used to correctly place other optical beams on the subject. The method can be applied to tracking the human eye to facilitate measurement, imaging, or treatment with a beam of optical radiation.

Abstract: A handgun mount is described for attaching a handgun to the forend of a long gun. A pump action of the long gun, if required for operation, may be actuated by moving the handgun along the forend of the long gun, and the handgun may be fired by the user of the long gun simultaneously with operation of the long gun.

Abstract: An obturator can be secured to a projectile to be launched from within a launch tube. The obturator cooperates with the projectile to seal a pressurized gas within the launch tube during launch. The obturator has a plurality of segments that combine to form a ring. Each segment has connecting features that cooperate with corresponding connecting features of an adjacent segment to hold the segments together by restricting relative circumferential movement, without restricting radially outward movement of individual segments. Preferably, each segment is identical, making it easier to repair and assemble the obturator. Upon launch, the obturator segments can move radially outwardly to separate into relatively small, uniformly-sized pieces.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed towards a method for wirelessly logging an image taken by a standalone digital camera via a mobile device. The method involves connecting a digital camera to a mobile device with network connectivity, using a bridged connection or cable. Once the picture is taken and stored as an image on the digital camera, it is transferred to the mobile device. Upon receipt of the image by the mobile device, the image is forwarded to a network node via the mobile device's wireless network connection. The image may be stored on a network access drive and accessed remotely by a user. The logging of the image may be done automatically immediately after the photo is taken, or at a later time upon connection of the digital camera to the mobile device.
